Nowadays majority of the working population is not getting adequate physical exercise and are often found morbid. There are two possible reasons behind this, and the problem can be solved only when individuals take primary initiative.

The fundamental reason is the lack of time. To be precise, these days the working situations have become more competitive and insecure, so that many employees are required to stay at work for longer hours. A recent report says that many employees are failing to maintain a good work-life balance because of the toxic work situations. 

In addition to this, most of the working staff today see exercise as a second priority. To be clearer, after a hectic work schedule, they would prefer either to relax or to get engaged in some entertainment activities rather than being at gyms. Even if they do some exercise, that would not be regular, and if it is, the time they spend would be inadequate. This is because they have other priorities in their life, and not because of ignorance regarding the importance of exercise.

 When addressing the first challenge, a working individual should make use of every available opportunity to be physically agile. For example, an employee can walk to his office rather than using a vehicle or can climb the stairs instead of using an escalator. The second issue can be addressed by inculcating some interest among these people about sports and regular exercise. For instance, employers can organize some sports competitions and can provide a tempting environment for their employees to exercise.

To conclude, it is clear that the basic reasons behind this lack of exercise among today’s working individuals is personal, and they themselves can rectify the problem to a great extent with some sorts of external support.
